Let them live with that regret for the rest of their lives!

Elise.

At this moment, Elise is holding two swords and dancing solo in the training ground. Nora is familiar with her steps and sword skills; it is Elaine's sword dance.

Nora's eyes flashed with surprise, but she didn't rush forward to ask. She just quietly watched Elise's dance. It wasn't a clumsy imitation; it was a true sword dance.

S. Elise had already spotted Nora. She leisurely finished her sword dance, then slightly lifted her skirt and bowed to Nora.

Nora clapped her hands: "Your sword dance is very standard. I'm very curious how you learned it?"

u "The blessing of the evil god".

S sacrificed Elaine's body to a certain gluttonous person, and her skill bar gained the skill of Sword Dance.

However, it wasn't very useful to her.

"Whom do you worship? How can they possess such power?"

"He's the king of gluttony."

9 Nora raised an eyebrow. She had only asked casually, but she didn't expect Elise to reveal this rather important secret.

Now that Si knows the evil god she worships, he can deal with her in a more targeted way if he wants to confront her.

8. "As a collaborator, even if you want to know anything else about me, I can tell you without reservation."

Yanora didn't believe that Elise would tell her everything without reservation, so she just took it as a joke.

Si put his longsword aside, and Nora took out Elaine's twin swords. After returning to her room last night, the spirit within her had passed on the sword dance to her.

Now she needs to practice.

Even so, Nora's sword dance was still very clumsy, and she couldn't achieve the same smooth and graceful movements as Elise.

0 Clearly, her movements were all performed according to the records in the tradition.

A soft laugh interrupted Nora's reverie. She glanced at Elizabeth beside the ball, only to see her covering her mouth with a clear smile in her eyes, as if watching a circus clown.

Nora frowned slightly, and just as she was about to say something, Elise walked up to her.

“Sword dance isn’t something you can force like this. You can divide sword dance into two parts: sword technique and dance steps.”

“I can’t give you pointers on swordsmanship, but I do have some insights into dance moves,” Elise said, reaching out to Nora.

"Beautiful lady, may I dance with you?"

Nora hesitated for a moment before placing her hand on Elise's invitation.

Unlike her own hands, which were calloused from years of wielding a sword, Elise's hands were very smooth and delicate, as soft as silk.

Elise had a faint fragrance about her, like fresh morning dew on flowers.

"Relax and follow my rhythm."

As Elise's gentle voice rang in her ears, Nora unconsciously relaxed.

Even so, Nora still stepped on Elise's foot several times, but Elise didn't mind and just continued to guide Nora's dance steps.

After the dance ended, Elise gracefully bowed to Nora before smiling and saying, "Sometimes I wonder if you're a noble lady, because you managed to step on my feet seven times even with such a simple dance step."

Nora avoided eye contact with Elise. Although she was a noblewoman, she wasn't interested in dancing or anything like that, and she hadn't made any effort to learn them. For this, she was often lectured by her family.

Elise's guidance was indeed very helpful to her; she seemed to have found a bit of the knack just now.

"I just bought these shoes, how are you going to make it up to me?" Iris said, looking at the shoe prints on her shoes with a hint of grievance.

"how much is it?"

Do I look like I'm short of money?

It was common knowledge that Elise's family owned a gold mine. Nora frowned. "So what do you want?"

Elise casually sat down on the table nearby, crossing her legs as she took out a pair of new shoes from her spatial ring: "Help me change into these, and I'll forgive you~"

Two O jiu ju liu ling meng

Nora twitched the corner of her mouth, completely ignoring Elise.

"Sigh, I just tried so hard to teach you how to dance, and you stepped on my feet so many times without complaining. All I want now is for you to help me change my shoes, how can you be so heartless as to refuse me?"

Volume 1: Chapter 39 I'm Useless

Elise walked into the restaurant with light steps, her shoes spotless.

The maid had already prepared breakfast, and Elena sat quietly at the table reading a book.

However, it has changed from "The Complete Guide to Classic Magic" to "The Complete Guide to Advanced Magic Applications". It records various magic usage techniques. The only drawback is that it is twice as thick as the previous book.

"Miss, shall we begin our meal?" the maid asked Iris with a sweet smile.

"Yes, come and eat, everyone." Elise sat down at the table and gracefully picked up her knife and fork.

"What's the plan for today?" Elena closed the thick book and casually stuffed it into her spatial ring.

With the spatial ring, she felt the convenience even more. Before, she wouldn't have wanted to carry such books with her, but now she could take them out and look at them whenever she had time.

"Liu Tianling is taking a two-day break today. Everyone can take the time to fully experience the local customs and culture of Shixingmang City. If you want to shop, I recommend going to Gold Coin Street. There are many adventurers setting up stalls there, and you might be able to find some rare items."

"Of course, the most famous place should be Honghua Lane. The whole street there is lined with brothels, and they offer excellent service and a wide variety of activities. If you are interested, you can go and have a look."

Elena rolled her eyes. How could she possibly go to a place like that?

"In short, everyone, take good care of yourselves today, and we'll set off for the ancient city ruins tomorrow."

"What are you going there for?" Nora asked, somewhat curious.

"When Qi Ran goes on an adventure, it's a rare trip to Shrimp Star City, how can we not go to the Ancient City Ruins (take a look, that is, it is one of the main cities of the Ancient Spirit Kingdom of Faen, so far even the outer area has not been fully explored, let alone the central area).

As an adventurer, Elena was a frequent visitor to Star City and naturally knew about the ancient city ruins.

Since the discovery of this site, countless people have tried to enter the central area, but the central area of ​​this ancient city is shrouded in a divine energy, and so far no one has been able to enter it.

Even so, countless adventurers still flock to it every day.

"Do you know how to get into the central area?" Elena asked instinctively.

"Of course, but even if you want to know, I won't tell you. With your strength, you'll definitely die if you enter the central area. I can't just stand by and watch you go to your death."

When Nora heard Elise's words, her first reaction was that she was joking, but judging from Elena's reaction, the other party did not doubt what Elise said.

Does Elise really know how to get inside?

"Elise, how does she know so many secret things?" Nora tried to consult the one residing in her body.

A clear, ethereal voice soon rang in her ears: "Instead of asking me this question, you should just go and ask her directly."

"Didn't you say you've been keeping an eye on Elise?"

"Paying attention doesn't mean I can know all her secrets."

"You mean to say that I'm more useless than you think, right?"

“I didn’t say that, you said it yourself.”

"You're right, I'm just useless (and you're a wife who doesn't know what's good for her)..." The ethereal voice, tinged with obvious self-mockery, gradually fell silent.

……

Gold Coin Street is the largest commercial street in Star City, lined with various shops on both sides, covering everything from daily life to adventures.

This place also houses Starlight City's largest market, where many adventurers sell their loot.

"Have you heard? There seems to have been a covert battle in the East District last night. A huge crater was blown out there, but nobody knows what happened."

"It's said to be the work of cultists. There are twice as many guards patrolling the city today as usual."

Elise slowly walked past the two people who were facing each other, then smiled and said to Nora, "It seems I did a good job of cleaning up."

Long before the battle even began, she had already charmed everyone around her. They slept soundly last night and had no idea what had happened. By the way, Elise also erased the traces of her group from their memories.

"Your ability is indeed quite convenient, but..."

For some reason, Nora suddenly thought of Elise's alluring figure from last night. She realized that this memory seemed to be deeply engraved in her mind, and she couldn't forget it even if she wanted to.

"Just what?"

"nothing."

Elise gave Nora a strange look, then ignored the shops on both sides and walked straight into the market.

Before coming here, she had already prepared to explore the ancient city ruins. Whether it was magical artifacts or potions, they were much cheaper to buy in the capital than here.

The market area was bustling with noise, and Elise's gaze casually swept over the surrounding stalls.

Having the system has another advantage for her: she can see the names of the products on the stall, which saves her a lot of time.

A moment later, Elise stopped in front of a stall, pointed to a set of worn-out armor, and asked, "How much is this?"

The stall owner was a girl wearing magical armor. When Iris asked about the price, a sharp look appeared on her delicate face.

Here it comes! It's that trick where they select a worthless item, then wait for you to raise the price, and then pretend to reluctantly agree while asking you to throw something in as a bonus! Actually, the bonus item is the real treasure!

"Ten gold coins."

"for you."

Elise took out ten gold coins and placed them on the stall, casually put away the tattered armor, and then left without looking back.

The girl paused for a moment, looking at the ten gold coins on the stall with a somewhat bewildered expression.

This isn't quite what I expected. Why did she just buy it? Could it be that she was after that tattered suit of armor?

The girl suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if countless gold coins were slipping through her fingers.

"Is there anything special about that thing?" Elena was always very direct. She would ask questions if she didn't understand something, and if the answer would make her work for nothing, she would pretend she hadn't said anything at all.

"The Ancient 2 magic armor is definitely useless now, but it's worth researching for 5. I plan to buy it as a gift."

"I see." She mentioned that her younger sister was very interested in making magical artifacts, and wondered if there were any similar items. She also wanted to buy one to give to her sister.

"Where's Nora?"

"She said she needed to buy something and then left," the maid said softly.

"Then let's leave her alone and continue." Elise decided to keep browsing and see if there was anything else she could find.

Volume 1: Chapter 40 This woman really did have ulterior motives towards Miss!

After strolling around the market, Elise scanned everything on the stalls, but there was nothing left that caught her eye.

After checking the various supplies in her spatial ring and confirming that they were plentiful, Elise lazily said, "I'm going back now. You can stay and continue exploring."

"Then I'll go replenish my supplies." With the spatial ring, she could carry more things, and the cautious Elena felt she needed to prepare more items to deal with various situations.

“Then I’ll go back with you, Miss,” the maid said without hesitation.

The things she wanted to buy weren't available here, and she couldn't afford them right now, but she would soon be able to save up enough gold coins.

Back at the small manor, the members of the Sword Dance Mercenary Group were carrying out their daily training. Upon seeing Elise, a fervent look appeared on everyone's face.

Lu Erbei died eighty-eighths spiritual dream

Elise waved them off to their own business and then went into the hall.

One advantage of being branded by the goddess of pleasure is that those who are bewitched retain their self-awareness, but develop an intense love for her. This love is so intense that it makes them completely obey Elise's commands, even at the cost of their lives.

"You're back already." Looking at Nora sitting on the sofa, Elizabeth said unexpectedly.

"Here, take this." Nora took a box out of her spatial ring and handed it to Elise.

“This is…” Elise opened the box, inside was a pair of exquisite shoes, the workmanship of which clearly indicated they were not cheap.

The maid standing nearby immediately became wary of Nora after seeing the shoes in the box.

What's going on with this red-haired woman? Why is she giving the young lady shoes? Is she plotting something against her?

"Consider this compensation," Nora said calmly.

"I didn't expect you to know my size. You seem to be very observant." Elise's lips curled into a pleasant smile, playful yet subtly seductive.

Nora opened her mouth to try to refute, but she couldn't deny that she had obtained the information by observing Elise while she was changing her shoes.

Just then, Elise's voice rang out again: "If you could give me a little gift every time, I would be happy to practice dancing with you again."

"Really?"

"I happen to have some time now, would you like to come?"
